The trustee appointed to recover funds for investors burned by Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme has sued the owners of the Mets claiming they reaped $300 million in false profits from the scheme and used a large chunk of that to run the team.

On Thursday, a federal bankruptcy judge in Manhattan appointed ex-Governor Mario Cuomo to serve as a mediator in the dispute between the Mets owners and the court-appointed trustee trying to recover money for victims of Madoff’s scheme.
